James A. McMenis | Faith in the Fire | Part 1

we read before the prayer in first Peter chapter 4 and on a look at it again in verse number 12 where he says beloved think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing happened unto you notice that the word strange shows up twice in that verse so if you're one that underlines or circles words or highlights your Bible do something with that word strange because it shows up twice what the Lord is saying here in his word is that we have to view trials correctly now this is a series that the Lord put on my heart some time ago that's gonna deal with having faith in the fire having faith in the trial going through you're going through something if maybe you've been going through something for months or years and you're wondering what is this all about well what I hope today does is that it gives you some perspective and and changes the way you view the trial and no matter who's offering what you're going through because the enemy can author a plan in your life and God still use it in other words you might say why is God doing this to me well it may not be the Lord that has done it and you know if the will of man has chosen to persecute you and to attack you and to do you wrong God didn't author that individual wrong in you but he can take that wrong and make it right and he could take that wrong and do a work for your life that is good Romans 8:28 gives us a promise that all things will work for good to them that love God and are called according to his purpose so if I could just change the way I'm viewing the trial and say Lord I know you didn't offer this I know this was not your plan but here it is and I'm facing it but I believe that you are el elyon that you are the Most High God and that you are bigger than the enemy and I believe that you can take even what the enemy is up to and turn it for good in my life I'm telling you that if we can change the way we view a trial that trial can be shortly and our we get out of that trial what we need to get out of that trial that God is glorified and his purpose for us is fulfilled so what today is gonna be about matter of fact not just today in the next few weeks is is we're gonna look at the word and I'm gonna show you five things based on the word not five things that I just came up with a written a book five things based on the word that could explain your trial or will definitely help you view your trial differently so notice here again the the the foundational verse first Peter 4:12 beloved think it not what strange concerning the fiery trial not just a trial a fiery trial so when we talk about faith in the fire we're talking about this thing is intense I'm in the heat of a situation the fiery trial which is to try you he said don't think that strange that you're going through a trial I guarantee you right now if I had those of you that are going through a trial to raise your hand don't do it but if I ask you to raise your hand if you're gonna throw a trial right now the majority of the folk in this place right now and in Bossier would have the hand up even though you think you might be here all alone and it's just you and you're the only one going through something and I'm not trying to be insensitive and I'm not trying to say you know oh everybody's going because you don't want to hear that you don't know you don't want to confide in somebody and say you know pray with me I'm really going through it and then they say back welcome to clue everybody you that's not what you want to hear when you confide in somebody and some of y'all came in here hurting and broken and you want a word that's gonna heal you and I'm saying what everybody's going through something like it insensitive preachers sent him back where he came from him enhance him in his purpose but unless you had a big win with ain't no so I put on some purple this morning he shoulda won my gold suit [Applause] that's a joke because I don't wanna forego super white folk don't look good in yellow if you are in yellow right now in your white you look good where did that come from my opinion I don't look good in yellow all right I hope I fix that so he says if you're going through a trial don't think it's strange it's not uncommon but yet that's what has so many people out of the Word of God out of prayer out of the will of God out of church it didn't want I'm going through something it should not be strange that you're going through something because you're going through something doesn't mean you need to move out of Shreveport just because you're going through something you need to leave this church just because you're going through something don't mean you're supposed to divorce your husband just because you're going through some don't mean you need to quit your job there are things you need to learn in this trial that first of all it's not uncommon see in life you are ultimately going to have the conviction of being a victim or a victor and so many times we lean toward that victim mindset and the victim always exaggerates what they're going through they don't just have a headache their head is killing them they're not just having a bad week this has been the worst week of my life and I'm not telling me I'm trying that's what we say I'm having a wonderful week and it's just of course it is just Sunday but I will have a wonderful week he said think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though somewhat strange thing happened unto you now most of us would get down because we're going through a trial but verse 13 says but rejoice but rejoice but rejoice but rejoice say that out loud but rejoice in as much as you are partakers of Christ's suffering that when his glory shall be revealed and we're gonna deal with that toward the end of the series what it means for the glory of God to reveal in a trial I didn't I preached a message many years ago called the trial that precedes the glory and there's always a trial that precedes the glory and many people never see the glory of God in a situation in their life because they're not able to endure the trial many people want the crown of the kingdom without the cross and there is no prayer without a cross and so he's saying change the way you view the trial so what I'm gonna do today is I'm gonna give you five things five things I got slides and everything and that's odd for me to have numbers and slides this is totally different but but I gotta get this thing over to you because over the next few weeks we're gonna talk about the five things I'm getting ready to show you originally I was just going to get in this pulpit and do him one at a time until we've covered them all but I was concerned that there was some of you they'd only come to church once a month I checked our dad Landon was telling me a few weeks ago on our database that we have 30 how many thousand thirty five thousand that that are plugged in the Word of God ministry so I was like there's no way they're all coming to church on the same side thirty five thirty five thousand so I know y'all ain't here at the same time why should i but I wanted to make sure that everybody got this because I feel like if you don't get these five things that you can you can use to view your trial you'll never understand the purpose of the trial therefore you're prolonged in it and you don't glean what God's called you to glean from it so let me give you five things that explain a trial and help us change the way we view a trial number one persecution persecution go with me to second Timothy chapter number three persecutions write that down in your notes persecution persecution number one if you are going to live for God you will be persecuted that's not what folk want to go to church a year folk go to church they won't here coochie-coochie-coo messages make you feel good dango never go through nothing you know I'm the head not potato I know but sometimes you got to be the tail to know you are the head how do you know you the head if you never been the tail okay Bossier got it second Timothy chapter number three let me show you something here in verse number twelve so number one persecution Church as believers we're going to be persecuted as believers we are going to be persecuted you you you you cannot live to advance the kingdom and not face persecution if you're not sensing persecution you're not doing nothing if you're not attempting to get to the place that God has called you to live in if you don't wake up every day with the intentional mindset of Lord what is your plan for me what is your will for me what is your purpose for me and then you move toward that position then you don't have to worry about opposition but if you wake up every day saying Lord I want to be who you called me to be as a father I want to be who you called me to be as a husband I want to be who you called me to be as a wife as a believer as a teacher as an administrator as whatever it is what I want to fulfill your purpose in my life I want to take that position I want you to know the enemy's not going to sit back and concede that the the attack that we face in taking the position God's called us to take seven days a week every day on the job in life the position as a believer that God has called you to take as a mama as the daddy as a believer it's going to always be faced with an opposing force and our position put this into notes please our position is opposed to position our position is opposed position saying that out loud our position is opposed position so whatever place God's called you to take the enemy opposes that and so I can't just think that I'm gonna be who God called me to be as a mom as a dad as a parent as a husband's wife as a believer as a teacher as whatever and there not be some persecution because the enemy is going to always oppose that place that God has called you to to be that that position that God has called you to feel watch this in second Timothy chapter 3 if you there say Amen verse number 12 yay and all that will live godly in christ jesus read the rest so if you're gonna live godly you will suffer persecution years ago I was having a lot of health issues I was facing I was I was having chronic sinus infections just chronically I mean like every four to six weeks I would just I pick up a sign I was just really going through it and it's hard to minister the word when you got drainage going on your throat was raw glands swollen and man I was just going through it I went and saw my dear friend dr. Mac Mac and I'm in it I'm in his office and and and he walked in he said brother pass that's what he calls me brother pastor I'll never forget where he got that from but it's where he called me bastard he's a brother pastor if you're gonna tote the ball you're gonna get hit and I said thank you for the encouragement he said don't worry we can write a prescription for this and I'm just going medication to your faith ketchup I said I do but it's true if you're gonna talk the ball you're gonna get here take your neighbor that if you're gonna tote the ball you're gonna get hit you can't live for God in this wicked world and the enemy not oppose you you can't live for God in this evil world and the enemy not rise up there's somebody on your job that needs to Jesus in you there's somebody in your life that needs that word that's in you and all this persecution is is to keep you silent he say hey all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse it's only going to get worse deceiving and being deceived but continue thou in the things which thou has learned and has been assured of knowing of whom thou has learned them he said hey no matter what's going on with the world you got to continuing what you have learned from the world but see persecution according to Jesus rises against us because of the word of God in Matthew 13 21 jesus said this he said that when we have heard the word but the word has yet to root in our lives we endure for a while but listen to what else what else he says here in Matthew 13 21 he said when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word by and by he is offended what this is saying is that many people hear the word and then the enemy brings persecution because of the word that they have heard the word that they've been called to live out on and they get offended by the persecution and never live out the word why because they're not able to view the they're not able to view the trial biblically see if I get offended at God because I'm going through something then that means I thought God was supposed to prevent that listen if I get offended at God because I'm going through something then my thought must be God you should never have allowed that see all offense is when you get offended all offense is is an unmet expectation if you are here seated right now next to your spouse and there's a little bit of offense there I guarantee you there's an expectation that was not met you expected something were you didn't get you expected something from him you didn't do whether he promised it or not expectations that go unmet lead to offense and the tighter the relationship the more vulnerable you are to offense and so offense is based on unmet expectation and so if you just expect God to give you a trial free life because maybe some preacher lied to you and told you that if you would join the church the blessing of the Lord would be on your life on your mind on your body on your spirit on your finances and you'd never have any trial and you'll never have any trouble and you'd never have any persecution and none of these things would ever happen and then it didn't happen now of a sudden you're offended at God you out of church you out of prayer you out of the word but I'm not allowed of you I'm here to tell you that if you're gonna live for the Lord if you're gonna live for this word there will be opposition because the god of this world is in opposition to the God in you and in the system of this world is in opposition to the system of faith that God has called you and how to live by there's going to be resistance now thank you for the for the clamped hallelujah now watch verse number 14 he said but continue continue that's what the enemy wants to get you to do he wants to get you to discontinue acts 14:22 says that we should continue in the faith and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God it's not uncommon it's not strange God's not picking on you God has not forgotten you I'm going to show you in this series through his word not because I had the answers because I don't but his word does that you can be encouraged in the midst of your hardship that if you could just change the way you're viewing this thing I'm telling you God will bring you out and you will be better for it I'm a living witness I have seen it in my own life it is true in this word and I'm going to show you step-by-step exactly how to view the trial and then we will spend some time saying okay how do I respond to the trial now let me give you these five things for I mess around and not do it that's why we did the slides I had to make sure that I got it so right now your trial could be the result of persecution number two and this one's listen this was so important trials can be based on what you've been planting trials can be based on what you've been planting so what's the first one up there's a good seed of bad seed okay good see right started with a bet I will make that first good good seed now that might shock you why would I be persecuted for good seed how many times have you heard folks say well you know what I got in church even painting with the eyes and you know what this doesn't that and this doesn't happen and this doesn't happen I thought for sure if I started living for the Lord I wouldn't have all these problems no the enemy is attacking that word you've been hearing just to see whether or not you really believe it and so mark chapter 4 beginning in verse 14 Jesus gives this parable and he said when they have heard the word Satan cometh immediately so when you hear the word the don't show up and see can he get you to move off that word did you really receive that word do you really have that word let me see if you really have that word let me attack you in the area of what you just heard so when I when the word of God is poured into my life the enemy is going to challenge that word will you pass the test all right let's go to bad seed because sometimes we blame the devil for what he didn't even knew and I'm certainly not Satan's defense attorney here pleading his case today talking about well Your Honor my client the devil didn't do it no no no I'm trying to help you see the trial correctly because if there's bad seed that you're sowing that is leading to the trial and you're blaming the devil and binding the devil and using the name of Jesus on the devil but it's the bad sowing that's leading to the trial because you're not seeing it accurately this thing continues because the devil's not doing this your bad seed is if you lost your job because you stole from the company don't say what the devil's busy [Applause] well I lost my job man no you just got that job yeah but you know the devil is busy busy the devil why don't you loser well you know I took some stuff I was supposed to do you did dad definitely that was you if I'm sowing bad seed I'm going to reap bad harvest that's what Hosea chapter 10 verses number 13 tells me it says you have plowed wickedness you have reaped iniquity I'm reaping what I saw Galatians 6:9 says be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap if you blew all your money on clothes you didn't need and then now you can't pay your mortgage and you got you got to notice you got to leave your house no don't don't say the devil is busy the devil didn't tell you to buy a hundred ins wanted dollar pair of jeans you didn't need when you knew you had a bill to pay you went and bought a 75 inch color television and you hadn't paid your rent yet where were you go watch TV [Applause] many years ago and they thank God we have a you know focus analyst now Memory years ago he was him pastor I needs money what happened well you know I just can't pay my rent well worth your money go well I had to pay my phone bill I saw women who were you going to talk wherever you go you paid a cellphone you paid a landline phone where was the landlines gonna go when you got put out see you can't blame the enemy for what you're doing you've got to see this man this is bad see that I've saw I'm walking in the harvester this it doesn't mean that God can't get me out of it it doesn't mean he can't even uproot bad things I've sung because he can but he can't until I acknowledge I did something that I need to repent I've done something that I need to change I need to change this and with God's grace he can break you free but not if you're pointing your finger at the devil all right number three move the right alone purging will spend the most time probably on this one not today because we'll get into these later purging I don't want to say this is the most important but I don't think there is a most important but this is a very important one go with me to Isaiah chapter 48 or you just look at the scripture on the screen that's why I don't normally use slash you don't get lazy you won't turn the scripture but go with me to Isaiah chapter number 48 and I want to share this with you because this one is so important I believe we'll probably spend at least two weeks just on this one because I will at least spend an entire Sunday on this one hour service on this one trials can be used by God chick oh please hear me oh goodness I'm sensing this I'm sensing already on important this one is trials can be used by God to get things in your life that don't belong in your life out of your life the fiery trial the reason you use the heat the reason the gold was melted was to purge and another word for purge would be to to purify so you've got people in your life that God does not want in your life and you wouldn't honor the word where the word says don't be unequally yoked so he's allowing the trial to shake all folk you're not supposed to have in your life and you wonder where this is come from but you've got you've got habits in your life you need to break and you wouldn't give heed to the word that was God's best way of getting it out of your life was to show you the word you heard the word but you ignored the word you ignored the conviction of Holy Spirit you ignored good counsel and God said okay I gotta let you go through something to get that out of your life because I don't want that in your life listen I want you to know that there are people that may not belong in your life there are things they may not belong in your life there are habits that may not belong in your life ways that may not belong in your life that God will use a trial to get out of your life there's a purging process that that God will use the trial to accomplish watch this and Isaiah chapter 48 verse number 10 he said behold I have refined thee purify the clean-- cleanse me I have refined thee but now with silver I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction read that last statement out loud I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction now we all want to be chosen choose me yes Jesus and God said imma tell you where I choose you I choose you in the fire I choose you in the furnace if you want me to use you you gotta let me put you through something you gotta you gotta let me purge it because I I can't use you when you're contaminated I can't use you when you're bringing all this stuff that I can't use with you so God will use trial to get things attitudes worldviews mindsets habits you'll use the trial to get all that out of you so that he can use you so that he can be glorified in your life and many people never see the finished work because they won't stand still long enough to let God finish they jump off the potter's wheel before he's through molding the clay they get out of the pot that that's meant to purify them because it got too hot so they thought well maybe I don't belong in Shreveport and so you moved to Alexandria and then it heated up there and he said well this must not be right so you moved to Atlanta Georgia and then it got hot there he said well this must not be right so you moved to st. Louis Missouri and it didn't work and said well maybe I need to be on the west coast so you went out to LA and it got hot there why because God is saying you cannot escape the jurisdiction of my authority over your life and there's something I wanted to do in you but you keep jumping out of my pot Church hopping won't change your trial I said I choose you in the furnace of affliction God will use a trial listen whether he authored it or not because God's not going to make somebody do you wrong but God also does not control the will of man so it's not that God authored what I'm going through it's that God can use what I'm going through for his good and for his glory you said well I don't want the Lord to use what I'm going through well you were gonna go through it anyway proverbs 17 3 says the the refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold but the Lord tries the hearts the Lord tries the hearts notice what God said here in verse 10 behold I have refined thee but not with silver God said I didn't refine you by putting by reigning you and something that would cover your heart no I'm refining your heart I'm doing this thing from the inside out it's not a cover-up 1st Peter 1:7 says the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perishes though it be tried with fire might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ I cannot hardly wait to talk about this particular one there's so much scripture has to say about how God can use to try to purge us and purify us and refine us for his glory what number moan I'm headed number 4 let me give you one more versatile in purging and John 15:2 jesus said all right I'm the vine you're the branch I want you to be I want you to yield better fruit so let me purge the tree purge me he cuts stuff off the tree and anytime something gets cut out of your life it hurts anytime something gets cut out of your life it hurts that's why you you have to be very careful with who you give your heart to because if I give my heart to you and then you're not meant to stay in my life it's gonna be painful when you're not in my life that's an young folk need to hear what I'm saying you'd be careful about the way you just give your heart to people you just sharing all these intimate things about your life just dumping all yourself out there then he's gone and then now you got Keith Sweat playing tell me I want to go outside in the rain don't want you to see me cry go outside in rain free line wonder that's all you get anytime something's uprooted out of your life that you got connected to there's there's pain pulling a splinter out of your finger hurts anytime there's a cut that it is pain and God is saying I gotta take some things out of your life it's a painful process but it's good for you now number four the fourth way we need to view a trial is is God trying to prove something it has he called me to prove my faith is my faith being tested glory to God so I want to share first Peter 1 6 and 7 we already read first Peter 4 and 12 but first Peter 1 6 and 7 says this wherein you greatly rejoice though now for a season if need be you are in heaviness through manifold temptations pressures on my flesh on the EBI that the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perishes though it be tried with fire might be found unto praise honor and glory saying these things don't turn for good if you will let me prove myself to you if you will let me prove myself to you see there's a test that we all go through in will we stand on the Word of God will we give God enough trust to let him prove that his word is good and in so doing we prove our own faith it's easy to say you believe when you ain't going through nothing but but prove it prove it see what what do you really trust that's why I'm Malachi 3 when it talks about the tithe he said if you'll bring the tithe to my house I will prove to you that I will open the windows of heaven for you everybody I said you got to give me something to prove myself oh my goodness but we won't give God anything to let him prove that his word is true because the minute something gets uncomfortable we move off the word because we don't really trust that God will do what he said he would do the trial is to prove the faithfulness of God to prove the Word of God when God spoke to Abraham and he said Abraham I'm gonna give you seed out Number the Stars and I'm gonna sign the first one's gonna be Isaac and him will your seed be named and then God gives him this miracle baby named Isaac and then in Genesis 22 God says to Abraham okay the miracle baby that I gave you the miracle son Isaac I want you to offer him up for me on an altar and Abraham laid his son on that altar and would have sacrificed him but the Lord spoke because God never intended for that boy to die it was a setup to see whether or not he really believed God and when he called out of heaven and said Abraham Abraham don't touch the boys for now I know and Abraham in his mind's eye said waymond you promised this seed would come to Isaac and in Hebrews 11:17 says that he received Isaac raised from the dead in a vision he said God you gonna do what you said you knew this boy right here is what he gonna give me my grandbabies he got to get me a Jacob and so if this boy dies right here you I'd raise him up and he was willing to step out and do what God called him to do and God say hey you proved yourself to me that's now stopped right I don't need you to go no further because now you've proven that you won't move off my word listen to me there will be times in your life when living by faith will not be easy but when you step out and do what God is talking gotta say enough you know you know now I know you believe glory to God number five number five the fifth way to view the trial is to see that God may be trying to produce something in me what is God trying to produce in me do you realize some would have never come to Jesus without a trial there are some of you here right now you would have never prayed have you not went through something you would have never called it a Lord had you not went through something what you went through led you to pray what you Winston led you to believe what you went through led you to get in church what do you Winston had you to Jesus what you went through led you to this word had you not gone through that you would not have come to the Lord so what did God do he used that trial that you might even brought upon yourself he used that to produce faith and salvation in your life God is always looking to produce something in us what would happen if we viewed the trials okay Lord what are you trying to produce in me so let's put all five up on the string so let me just give you a hypothetical homework assignment am I just being persecuted because of my faith is that what this is all about if you can see it as that you know what it is okay I've been so in the word I've been living the word I've been applying the word okay the enemy's coming after all I see what he's up to go over to mark ken go with me to mark 10 I gotta close this out with something that's just oh my goodness it'll give you something to work with this would give you something to work with Oh gonna leave you with something to work with take neighbor that I'm gonna leave here with something to work so go to mark 10 so secondly okay I've been so in the word been so in the word enemy's trying to get me to move off that word I say I believe been tested that's alright ain't moving I'm sold out alright second point to that part have you been sewing bad seed blaming the devil for what you've been doing is gonna get you nowhere so you gotta own that number three God what are you trying to what are you trying to do in this trial it doesn't mean God offered it well if God is so good why not all these things happen because man is bad lord what are you trying to purge from me what are you trying to change in me what what what what what meet what do I need to do differently see how that could change the trial by just seeing that different view number four okay it my being tested is this a test well I'm not gonna move I'm gonna pass this test and I'm gonna show you in a few weeks exactly how to pass the test because we're not just gonna talk about the trial and what might be causing the trial or what God wants don't try I'm gonna look in the word and see what do you do in the trial and then number five ask yourself the question okay Lord what do you want to produce in me what what do you want to be produced in this now watch this in mark 10 and I'm gonna ask you a question before we read it some I gotta make this quick have you ever heard of the one hundred fold return of those that give to the gospel give their life for Jesus give their life to the gospel hundredfold return you ever heard of that preachers uses and heard at Offutt or hundredfold return who doesn't want the hundredfold return I was 200 full return well I don't give to get anything their pastor I just give because I love God well bless you a little hard but if you would let the Lord give you a harvest and you could give more so don't get deep with God tell my lord I just give cuz I love you I don't want nothing back well don't not want nothing back and selfish is what I'll need nothing back past and my family's taking care of my dog's take your house paid for him that's nowhere as long as you're taking care of you don't even else what about the person God's called you to bless and the phone that there's something I feel like been overlooked that might explain why few Christians are actually walking in 100 fold and the word hundred fold just means optimum return God wants you to have the optimum return on your life both in this life and in heaven prove it to you watch what Jesus said in mark 10 verse 29 jesus answered and said verily I say to you there is no man that hath left house brethren sisters father mother wife children lands for my sake and the gospel's no man ever has sat as has lived sacrificially and it cost him these things no man ever that did not receive verse 30 but he shall receive a hundredfold the optimum return in this time that means not when you get to heaven in this time you see that in this time what houses plural it's plural yo stand on the word houses and brethren think about the people that trials purged from your life the people that used to be in your life that we're not good for your life now look at your life now the people that God has brought into your life see God will always give you the optimum return he took that bad friend and gave you the best brother you ever knew and sisters and mothers and children and lands but see this is what we didn't hear read the next two words with persecutions I'm still like many believers are not walking in the optimum return on their life because they can't deal with the persecution we let the persecution get us out of the will of God we we let the persecution prevent us from seeing the glory that always comes behind the trial that God could have brought people in your life that could have been so beneficial in it and the friendships and the relationship or maybe even the marriages that God was gonna bring in your life marriage that God was gonna bring in your life better get that right marriage that God was gonna bring their life marriage was the result of people you had to lose in your life but you didn't get to that point because you could not handle the persecution the point I'm trying to make is God's got a best and that's the optimum but he's saying that optimum doesn't come without persecution so what we do we're bad about I gotta grab this up we're bad about making people's lives a book and we see other people's lives that we like or that we applaud and we like their marriage and we read that last chapter of their marriage and their children and their family and their life and their ministry and their money and their house and their car we say man that's what I want but you omitted you left out all the chapters that head to that chapter people will look at me and say well he's got this and that you read this you don't know what a man went through to get where he's at you can't see a man walking the blessing of God's kingdom that didn't go through some persecution that's what Jesus is saying here if you want to walk in my optimum you've got to be willing for the persecution I've got to peel the trial right the trial causes so many people to forfeit their faith they get out they give up they came here and they quit they don't have faith in the fire and they don't see what could have come we'll pick this up next week does that help anybody let me let me pray for you father we thank you for your word and we thank you for your spirit and what I pray right now that you would be a voice unlike the voice of man that you would give us a conviction in our heart that we can take from this place today to change the way we view the trial that you be glorified in our lives would you pray with me Heavenly Father thank you for your word I believe Jesus died for me I believe you raised him from the dead that I could have forgiveness and walk in newness of life so right now I ask for forgiveness of my sins I repent of every bad seed that I've sown in my life and I asked right now in the midst of my situation that you would give me wisdom that you would give me discernment to view my trial correctly that in this trial and through this trial you be glorified and your kingdom be advanced in Jesus name amen amen amen [Music]
